Africa is a Joke!!! Nigerians react to Buhari’s election as ECOWAS chairman sparks debate

It appears that many Nigerians on social media are quite unhappy with the new responsibilty tossed on on President Muhammadu Buhari as the new Chairman of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Buhari’s announcement as chairman came shortly after a closed session of Heads of State of the Commission at the just concluded ECOWAS Summit in Lome, Togo.

Taking to social media, many Nigerians argued that the president was still grappling with the task of leading Nigeria and this new appointment may be a bit to much. They lamented why many African countries take pleasure in electing ‘old’ people to lead them as oppose to making use of young people with fresh ideas.

I really dnt know what is wrong with Africans & old men as leaders. A man of 75yrs elected as chairman of ECOWAS is a sign that Africa will never hv a platform for youth to be leaders of tomorrow. Old men in Africa are greedy with power lust-fullness "President Muhammadu Buhari"
